What must power-driven vessels always do when encountering sailing vessels?

Increase speed
Sound signals
Give way unless overtaking
Wave

The correct answer is: Give way unless overtaking

Power-driven vessels must always give way to sailing vessels when encountering them. This is because sailing vessels have limited maneuverability and may be restricted in their ability to move out of the way of other vessels. Increasing speed is not recommended as it can put both vessels at risk, and sounding signals is not required in this situation. Waving is also not a sufficient action to take when encountering a sailing vessel. Therefore, the best course of action is for power-driven vessels to always give way to sailing vessels to prevent collisions and ensure the safety of everyone on the water.
